SEN Teaching Toolkit

This toolkit provides information on how to support the needs of pupils with SEN/EHCPs in the classroom as part of a quality first teaching approach. Each section links to one of the four broad areas of need.

You will find:
• The broad area of need.

Cognition & learning, Communication & interaction, SEMH & Sensory needs.

• Categories of potential difficulty within that need.
• What that area of difficulty might look like in the classroom.
• Supportive quality first teaching strategies that will offer support.

Each list of ‘What it might look like?’ and ‘Supportive Quality First Teaching Strategies’ are not exhaustive but may provide a useful starting point to help you help your pupils access learning. At the end of each section are resources linked to some of the strategies.

The Toolkit can be edited and new needs and provisions can be added to meet the needs of your students.
